Make Regex for special characters - regex

I am trying to make it so that I have a UITexField that returns false when checked by a method if it has anything but letters in it, I have tried to create a RegEx, but have not been able to get it to work.
func checkNames(name: UITextField, text: UILabel) -> Bool {
let regEx = "[,./-=+}{[]`~'!#£$%^&*():;?0-9]"
let regExTest = Predicate(format:"SELF MATCHES %#", regEx)
let charResult = regExTest.evaluate(with: name.text)
if name.text != nil && charResult == false {
text.textColor = UIColor(red: 124, green: 252, blue: 0)
return true
} else {
text.textColor = UIColor(red: 255, green: 0, blue: 0)
name.text = nil
name.placeholder = "Alphabetical Name Required"
return false
}
}
I want it to return false if it has anything but letters.

.removeAll() no longer working on devices running iOS 16+

I have the removeAll function in my app. It works on iOS 15.7, but not on iOS 16+.
I've looked at the official developer documentation, and it doesn't mention any changes that could've happened in iOS 16+.
Further searching hasn't brought up any mention of this.
What has changed in iOS16+, that has caused this?
UPDATED QUESTION BELOW:
This method is called when user submits an answer to a question. The user's answer is stored as a string literal variable. The user's answer must be cleared from the screen whether the answer is correct or wrong.
I used another part of the app in iOS16+, which uses removeAll to empty an array. It emptied the array. I now suspect that removeAll should only be used on arrays. The user's answer in the code listing below should be assigned empty double quotes, instead of calling the removeAll method.
func checkAnswer() {
cancelDisabled = true
switchLanguageDisabled = true
attemptFinished = true
answered = true

How to add dictionary values to images using SpriteKit?

(( EDIT 4: Successful in making cards flip. Using .contains on the node and running a SKAction sequence. How would I create three states for the card? Tuple sounds like a fun idea. Unflipped, Flipped, Flipped-Highlighted. It loads with all cards down (done), I want to unflip the card (done), then tap it again to highlight it. In doing so the second time, it highlights itself and the top guess word. The two strings are then concatenated in a label at the bottom, and a Next button activated (not built yet). Upon successful match of the key[value] == A[B] then Score += 1. Getting closer! ))
(( EDIT 3: Update of didMove with split keys and values. Can get the title to be the first key now and I can put the first value on the top left card okay as a test. Progress. Now I just need to either blank out the card on touch down or find a way to flip it. How would the touch down code be done? touch Began? ))
(( EDIT 2: Now thinking of it from the perspective of dictionary key value pairs rather than values alone. Gets rid of the problem of finding the key when the value is assigned to the card. Now to play with labelling the card with SKLabelNode. Need to flip card, add value, compare key. ))
(( EDIT: I made the elements all code in GameScene.swift . That file is now included in this post. Also updated question text and removed some other text. ))
I'm new to SpriteKit and Swift 3. With a few million speakers there's not a lot of Esperanto software so I want to make a game for myself to learn 1000 Esperanto words. (not shown!)
I want to have each card flip to reveal a word value from the dictionary key/values.
Then see if that word matches the wordGuess label key for the value selected.
Also JSON might be better for breaking up 1000 words into modular sections but I'll cross that bridge at another time.

How to assign dictionary values to the cards?. EDIT 2: By not using values! I'm going to do from the perspective of dictionary keys, that way each card has a key value pair, then just display the value.
// get all the card keys
var cardKeys:[String] = []
for (k,_) in cardsDictionary {
cardKeys.append(k)
}
// slice for only four cards
var fourCardKeys = cardKeys[0...3]
// get 1st value for display
cardsDictionary[fourCardKeys[0]]
So SKLabelNode on touchDown? I'll try it. Also need to flip card so word is not on the image. Lastly compare the pressed card's key to the wordGuess key text. Getting closer
EDIT 3: Update of didMove with split keys and values. Can get the title to be the first key now and I can put the first value on the top left card okay as a test. Progress. Now I just need to either blank out the card on touchDown or find a way to flip it.

Upon successful match of the key[value] == A[B] then Score += 1. Getting closer! It's really similar to just a matching game but I'm adding an extra layer of card flipping.
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
guard let touch = touches.first else {
return
}
let touchLocation = touch.location(in: self)
let touchedNode = self.atPoint(touchLocation)
func flipCard (node: SKNode, label: SKLabelNode)
{
label.isHidden = true
node.run(SKAction.sequence(
[SKAction.scaleX(to: 0, duration: 0.2),
SKAction.scale(to: 1, duration: 0.0),
SKAction.setTexture(SKTexture(imageNamed: "Redcard-blank"))
]
))
label.isHidden = false
}
Personally, I don't like to use userData, my opinion is that isn't a readable code.
I'd some like to create a custom SKNode like:
class Card: SKSpriteNode {
var value....
var dictionary
etc
}
Another solution, you can create a tuples:
var cardsDictionary: [String:String] = [
"vegetable":"legomo",
"plant":"vegetalo",
"actually":"efektive",
"currently":"aktuale"
]
let cardTopLeft = (node:SKNode, value:Int, type:[String:String])
cardTopLeft.node = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "Redcard")
cardTopLeft.value = 1
cardTopLeft.type = cardsDictionary[0]
All SKNodes have a dictionary you can write to called userData. It is an optional NSMutableDictionary, so you are going to have to create it:
cardTopLeft.zPosition = 1
cardTopLeft.size = CGSize(width: 300.0, height: 300.0)
cardTopLeft.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
cardTopLeft.position = CGPoint(x:-229, y:-57)
cardTopLeft.userData = ["word":"tree","value","arbo"]
addChild(cardTopLeft)
To use:
let word = cardTopLeft.userData["word"]
let value = cardTopLeft.userData["value"]
Getting a better understanding of your question, I would use SKLabelNode as an alternative.
What you can do is create SKLabelNodes to the cards with the word you want to attach, and mark it as isHidden = true. When you are ready to reveal the word, you just mark isHidden = false
let value = SKLabelNode("arbo")
value.isHidden = false
cardTopLeft.zPosition = 1
cardTopLeft.size = CGSize(width: 300.0, height: 300.0)
cardTopLeft.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
cardTopLeft.position = CGPoint(x:-229, y:-57)
cardTopLeft.addChild(value)
addChild(cardTopLeft)
//to reveal it
if let label = cardTopLeft.children[0] as? SKLabelNode
{
label.isHidden = false
}
//to use it
if let label = cardTopLeft.children[0] as? SKLabelNode
{
let value = label.text
//compare value to dictionary of answers
}
You may want to give your labels a name so that you do not have to use children[0], but I will leave how you want to find a node up to you.

How to set selected segment background color using HMSegmentedControl in Swift 3.0

How can i achieve this style using HMSegmentedControl when the index is selected.Please help me how can i achieve this in swift 3.0 ......if it is possible
Here is my Code:
func setupSegementCategory(){
segmentCategory.sectionTitles = ["home","about","contract","home","about","contract"]
segmentCategory.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.7683569193, green: 0.9300123453, blue: 0.9995251894, alpha: 1)
segmentCategory.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
segmentCategory.selectionIndicatorLocation=HMSegmentedControlSelectionIndicatorLocation.down
segmentCategory.isVerticalDividerEnabled=false
segmentCategory.selectedSegmentIndex=0
segmentCategory.selectionIndicatorColor = UIColor.white
segmentCategory.segmentWidthStyle = HMSegmentedControlSegmentWidthStyle.dynamic
segmentCategory.titleTextAttributes = [
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : #colorLiteral(red: 0.2549019754, green: 0.2745098174, blue: 0.3019607961, alpha: 1),
NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)
]
segmentCategory.backgroundColor=Constant.GlobalConstants.kColor_blue
segmentCategory.selectedTitleTextAttributes = [
NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17),
NSForegroundColorAttributeName :UIColor(red:0.74, green:0.70, blue:1.00, alpha:1.0)
]
segmentCategory.addTarget(self, action:#selector(segmentedControlValueChanged(sender:)), for: .valueChanged)
}
func segmentedControlValueChanged(sender: UISegmentedControl) {
let sortedViews = sender.subviews.sorted( by: { $0.frame.origin.x < $1.frame.origin.x } )
for (index, view) in sortedViews.enumerated() {
if index == sender.selectedSegmentIndex {
view.tintColor = UIColor.red
} else {
view.tintColor = UIColor.lightGray
}
}
}
There's currently no way to get that style in HMSegmentedControl.

how to declare UIPageControl inside class

I'm trying to add pageControl to my collection View which is inside my collectionView Cell, so I need to declare UIPageControl so
let CollectionViewPageControl: UIPageControl = {
let pageControl = UIPageControl()
pageControl.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 100, width: 10, height: 10)
pageControl.currentPage = 0
pageControl.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.red
pageControl.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.lightGray
return pageControl
}
but I got this error Cannot convert value of type '() -> _' to specified type 'UIPageControl'
so any help ?
You're declaring collectionViewPageControl as an UIPageControl, but you're assigning a closure to it.
You can do this:
let collectionViewPageControl: UIPageControl = UIPageControl()
collectionViewPageControl.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 100, width: 10, height: 10)
collectionViewPageControl.currentPage = 0
collectionViewPageControl.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.red
collectionViewPageControl.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.lightGray
You can read more about closures in Swift here.
And don't forget to add it to your collectionViewCell (or whatever is the parent of the UICollectionView that will be paginated).
yourCollectionViewCell.addSubview(collectionViewPageControl)

Swift animatewithDuration() instantly completes

So, I have this code:
UIView.animate(withDuration: 10.0, delay: 0, options: .curveLinear , animations: {
self.gameLabel.alpha = 0
}, completion: nil)
The problem is when this code is called it instantly goes to a 0 alpha and doesn't slowly transition. What am I doing wrong?
Here is some more context for the the code:
var gameLabel = SKLabelNode()
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
gameLabel.fontColor = UIColor.white
gameLabel.fontSize = 85
gameLabel.setScale(0.40)
gameLabel.text = "this is a game"
gameLabel.position = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)
gameLabel.zPosition = 0
gameLabel.alpha = 1
addChild(gameLabel)
}
func touchDown(atPoint pos : CGPoint) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 2, animations: {
self.gameLabel.alpha = 0
})
}
So, i solved my problem by running.
self.gameLabel.run(SKAction.fadeOut(withDuration: 10))
